like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

Just watched the videos of the hijacked bus in Manila. 8 hostages died in that catastrophe.

There was a video showing the bus driver tried to escape from the bus and he did it. Glad that he successfully escaped. He did it for his life, for his safety. He must felt a great great relieve.

And.. the next video told me about the hijacker, who was a fired captain in the army, sprayed a gunfire. He killed some hostages.


What would I do if I was in that bus, and there was an option: I ran, and I was safe but others would be killed because my escape or I stayed, killed, and the others would be safe?

Never know the answer though. Answering it won't be as easy as doing it.


Anyway.. I am very sorry for the killed hostages. RIP.
